I have 2 Sky Boxes. Box A In the lounge and Box B in the dining room.

Both boxes have the same subscription assigned to them.

Yesterday I started getting a no satalite signal (28) on Ch 5 and most Sky channels. ATR was ok but RUK was giving this error.

I rang Sky and they said I needed an engineer.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to** But the main questions is, if I s** the boxes over to eliminate cabling or LNB problems, should the boxes work if jusr s**ped around?

Help appreciated

Firstly take the sky cards out and give them a bit of a clean. Sometimes in the sim gets mucky, you would receive this message.

You are right, swapping the boxes round would eliminate it being a LNB or cabling prob. I presume box A is more important than B so you can live without B till the engineer comes.

Thanks for the replies neither box is critical as I route things through the house via those eye devises so I am not stuck. I dont have any warrenty but just wanted to eliminate things. I just didnt want to go fiddling around with boxes and lose the racing and football today.

I will try wiping the cards


Thanks Guys

unplug for 1 min,touch dish with stick/ brush see if it alters picture,make sure sky cable isnt screwed in to tight.

Sepp will try that? are you thinking it may be misaligned or is it to do with static? never heard of that one

Well I have s**ped to boxes over and it looks like the problem is with the box. Same problem with box A when plugged into Box B wiring. Also tried the dish but its secure, no birds nests etc :o)
